what makes sense? The author reviews guidelines of the Canadian and U.S. Preventive Task Forces on the Periodic Health Examination and recent papers on prevention issues. A healthy man between 20 and 65 years of age might visit a physician every five years. Health-maintenance visits should include evaluation of STD and HIV risk factors, blood pressure reading and, after 35, cholesterol measurement. After 65, a visit every other year should suffice, but individuals must be informed of the importance of yearly influenza vaccination. Appropriate lifestyle counselling should be part of any medical encounter.
什么是合理的？作者回顾了加拿大和美国预防医学工作组关于定期健康检查的指南以及近期有关预防问题的论文。20至65岁的健康男性可能每五年看一次医生。健康维护检查应包括对性传播疾病和艾滋病毒风险因素的评估、血压测量，35岁之后还应进行胆固醇检测。65岁之后，每隔一年检查一次就足够了，但必须告知个人每年接种流感疫苗的重要性。任何医疗问诊都应包含适当的生活方式咨询。
